Once we get to the top, we will first encounter a hidden Taoist Temple called Zhangrenguan, which is regarded as the true birthplace of Taoism.. Even as old and shabby as it is, there are still 4 to 5 Taoist priests practicing Taoism there.
After that, We continuing our walk and will visit two more mysterious temples hidden in forests, but we can still see people from cities coming there to meditate and practice Taoism.
